In the diverse ecosystem of arena battlers, almost every strategy relies on sending troops across the river to physically attack the enemy tower.
This playstyle is often viewed as incredibly toxic by the community because it forces the opponent to constantly play offense against a heavily fortified position.
The Defensive Wall
When you place an X-Bow at the bridge, it takes several seconds to deploy, during which time the opponent will panic and drop everything they have to destroy it.
You use these cheap troops as meat shields, physically blocking enemy tanks and assassins from ever touching your precious artillery.
Never play your X-Bow if you don't have the elixir to protect it.Pre-place defensive buildings (like a Tesla) before playing the X-Bow.If you know they have a Golem in hand, do not play the X-Bow; they will just use the Golem to block the shots.
The Mortar vs. The X-Bow
The X-Bow is a high-risk, high-reward machine gun; it costs 6 elixir and requires intense, immediate protection, but it can shred a tower from 100% to 0% in seconds.
The Mortar, conversely, is a slow, methodical 4-elixir cannon that lobs massive splash-damage boulders.
